Transfers

A transfer can be used to make a trip that requires the use of two PART bus routes. They are valid for only 90 minutes from the time of purchase, and should be purchased when paying your fare.

Transfers are issued for continuing one-way travel and are limited to one per trip. Transfers cannot be used to make a round-trip on the same route. When using a Transfer, present it to the driver for inspection before placing it in the fare box. Transfers can be made at the following three locations:

• Charles W. Dickinson Transportation Center
• North End Shopping Center
• Kmart

Passengers transferring from SEPTA Route 93 must present a valid, Yellow Transfer, with the correct date and route punched. Other SEPTA transfers and fare instruments (such as Tokens, TransPasses or TrailPasses) are NOT valid on PART buses.

In addition to operating five bus routes, a special curb-to-curb service is offered for those persons who have a disability and are unable to ride the bus. Call PART at 610-326-5413 for information on how to become eligible to use this service.
